Summary:
"Personal essays, stories, and riffs on finding love and
intimacy
in New York City. Playwright, author and performer Isaac Oliver serves up a comedic cornucopia of sketches, vignettes, lists, and diaries from his life as a young, fanciful, and extremely single gay man in New York City. Whether he’s hooking up with a man who dresses as a dolphin or suffering on an airplane sitting next to people with food from home, Oliver captures the messy, moving, and absurd moments of urban life. Since moving to New York a decade ago, Oliver has pined for countless strangers on the subway, slept with half the people in his Washington Heights neighborhood, and observed the best and worst of humanity from behind the glass of a Times Square theater box office. He also rode the subway during Breastfeeding Awareness Week and lived to tell the tale. Culled from years of heartbreak and more awkwardness than a virgin at prom and a whore in church (and he should know because he’s been both), these essays chronicle Oliver's encounters with love, infatuation, resilience, and self-acceptance that echo our universal desire for
intimacy
of all kinds. Isaac Oliver's plays include Electra in a One-Piece, Eddie Goshen is Dead, and the ten-minute plays "3, 2, 1," "Film Forum," and "Come Here."
